A lovely day of racing with plenty of entertainment, not just racing but a mini-theme park and disco dome.
The first race was a selling stake, the horse called Chauvelin, ridden by Connor Beasley that came through the others and went on to win beating Impeccability by a furlong. The winner after a bidding war from the start of four thousand pounds finished was sold to N Tinkler for six and a half thousand pounds, the rest of the horses in this race weren't claimed.
The 3:20 race it was very close between all, eventhough this is to be expected with sprint races, it created lots of interesting surprises the favourite finished last, the winner by only half a length was Bond Bombshell trained by David O'Meara. Another unusual aspect of this race was Burtonwood's
jockey Kieran Schofield lost his stirrups and ran the race without, soon after finishing third, he tumbled off the horse.
Next update will be on the race meeting at Redcar.
This is blog's about racing meeting's I go to and any horses or jockey performances that catch my eye.
